Not incapable, unwilling. Socialism breeds contempt and lethargy.
What's the big deal? These are indigent insurgents. They're expressing themselves in the only way that will get the attention of the colonial power which puts them down. It's "The Arab Street". Blah, blah, blah....
Are there any hard line nationalists in France?
"Overall, over 550 insurgents have been arrested since the riots began, some of them minors found carrying gasoline bombs...So far no one has been killed during the civil unrest, according to the French government, but at two civilians have been badly burned by Molotov cocktails."
The answer is amazingly clear: Raise the tax rate on petrol to astronomical new heights and take the ability to pay for it away from the chronically unemployed. In this way, the source of the danger will be removed and the government will have plenty of fresh money from the taxes taken from the disproportionately wealthy population's continued gasoline purchases. In this way, they will be able to rebuild Paris, cut greenhouse gas emissions, bail out their failing medical system, increase subsidies to farmers and create new government jobs to help integrate illiterate North African Muslims into French society.
"The Second Amendment of the US Constitution tells why we will never see anything like this from muslims in the USA."
Think again, the moment you raise a gun to a muslim, regardless of what the muslim is doing, you will promptly be arrested for a hate crime and the muslim will become an instant hero.
uh, sorry to be a bit contrarian, but in the la riots, it took three days and some fifty dead before our govt did its ARMED REPSONSE THING. do i really need to remind everyone about new orleans? didnt think so.
Truth is, he didn't call them scum.
If all we have to go on about Le Pen's ideology is the lying Treason Media then we really know less than nothing.
As far as I know he has been telling the truth about the dangers posed by the followers of Mad Mo.
Charles Martel is spinning in his grave.
With that distasteful duty out of the way, France can now begin a glorious collaboration!
Yes, the Interior Minister, Nicolas Sarkozy.
IIRC around day two of the riots, he called them "Scum". The rest of the French Cabinet wet their pantaloons, and demanded he apologize and/or resign - he has not.
The rioters may have a particular dislike for Sarko since his grandad on mom's side was a Jew (Sarko was raised Catholic, though).
What’s the main reason these murderous punks are giving for rioting? The Lack of human rights in France.
It was France who connived with human-rights champions China and Cuba to toss the United States off the UN Human Rights Commission, with Sudan (of all places) taking America's place. America they said had lost favor among all these third World countries, who now look at the United States as being cowboys with a blood-lust passion for war.
But who cities are burning today? Fires caused by former citizens of the Gimmie Gimmie third world countries.
Listen up France. You can earn respect, or you can earn RESPECT. You chose the wrong path.
The nice thing about the US is we don't "offer to form citizen militias" to stop crap like this--we just form them. The Rodney King riots in LA stopped when the rioters ran up against just such a barrier of armed citizens. Thank God the horrible AWB expired.
You better remind Cindy to be sure to pack her Burka for the trip.
The moment I have to raise a weapon on a moo, there will be one dead moo. The taking of a human life is the most difficult decision one can make, but I have had to make it before and I can make it again. It is always better to try and cope with the taking of a life, than to be dead.
Shoot, shuffle off, and shut up.
I don't recall this being the case at all (though there were specific instances of business owners hunkering down with their families and their guns to protect their property). I believe the LA riots stopped when the U.S. postal service announced that it wasn't going to deliver mail -- including all kinds of government checks -- to South Central L.A.
Moret than anything else, this French Islamofascist insurrection shows why all of us who can should go out and buy all the guns and ammunition we can afford. Otherwise, it will assuredly come here. I don't just want a gun saturated society; I want one that's drowning in legally and legitimately owned guns and ammunition.
